We were delighted to work with Clive Owen LLP who prepared an Independent Accountant’s Report for our Innovate UK grant claim. 

Their professionalism and attention to detail were evident throughout the process, with the report completed and issued ahead of our planned submission deadline.

We greatly appreciated their reliability, expertise and overall excellent service, and would highly recommend Eleanor and the wider Grants team.

We have worked with Clive Owen LLP for 10 years. I have found them to be an invaluable partner, helping us face the complex challenges of Academy accounts. They provide challenge and support to the board and explain complex accounts clearly, showing the trust’s underlying financial performance.
The team has extensive knowledge of the academic sector and brings a wealth of experience. The Academies Accounts Direction and the Academies Trust Handbook change annually. Clive Owen LLP adds value by running seminars to explain the changes and how to implement them. They also contribute to the Kreston Academy Benchmarking Report, which we find very useful.
They have a collaborative approach and are always available to answer queries or provide support.
As leaders in their field, Chris Beaumont and his team are proactive and genuinely invested in our success. They deliver on time and within budget. The peace of mind this gives us means I would definitely recommend them.”

I have worked with Clive Owen LLP for over five years now and I would highly recommend their services. Historically we used Big 4 advisors and I am pleased we made the move as we very much feel a valued client of the firm.

Currently they act as auditors and assist with tax advisory and compliance work. In addition, we have worked with their grant advisory team in order to secure a grant to assist with our business growth.

Over the years they have developed a good understanding of our business, managing expectations and delivering to agreed timescales. This continued throughout the pandemic where through good communication and team work on both sides, we were able to sign off the 2020 audit in line with previous timescales whilst conducting the audit remotely.

The staff team are professional and flexible. Kevin Shotton is always available to support and provide proactive advice.

We get great service and support from the team at Clive Owen LLP.
